I don't think we should let real, present-day threats distract us from the actual possibility of AI apocalypse either. They're two separate problems, they're both serious problems, and they can both be addressed (well, actually, we don't know if AI alignment even can be solved). Not that I don't appreciate you bringing this up. As someone apparently wasting a lot of my time trying to explain the concept of misaligned AGI, I still think it's very important that we 1) don't trust Sam Altman, and 2) spend a lot of resources dealing with human alignment problems, such as abuse of existing AI and other technology.
